Built in 1821, the house was enlarged with the east rooms and a central two-story hall in 1830. In the 1860s, it was purchased by North Carolina Chief Justice Thomas Ruffin, who died in the house in 1870. Ownership remained in the family (his daughter married a Rouhlac), and the kitchen, pantry and conservatory were added in 1908. In the 1920s, the house was shuttered and nailed tight.

The house and outbuildings were completely restored in 1974. At that time the house was converted to offices for the Town of Hillsborough and that mix of new and old continues today.  Parking.
